UNITED KINGDOM MILITARY The Royal Navy has historically been split into several commands. There now remain only two commands, Fleet and Naval Home Command . It is planned that these two commands will soon amalgamate. The modern British Army has only one named command, Land Command . Although the concept of a command dates back to the foundation of the Royal Air Force , the term command (as the name of a formation) was first used in purely RAF-context in 1936 when Bomber Command , Fighter Command , Coastal Command and Training Command were formed. Since that time the RAF has made considerable use of the term. Currently, the RAF has two commands; Strike Command and Personnel And Training Command . These two commands will soon be co-located. UNITED STATES MILITARY In the US military, high-level joint collections of forces are organised as Unified Combatant Commands . In addition, both the US Army and the USAF subdivide their forces as Major Commands. SEE ALSO List Of Royal Air Force Commands |
